It would be a good restoration project for someone. It's a Pontiac Silver Streak. I'm not sure what year, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1950 would be my guess.

There are lots of definitions for "classic." You can use the term any way you want. I would guess 1940.

My first car, back in the sixties, was a 1939 Buick. This Pontiac looks exactly like my old Buick. Jerry, you are spot on. Man I wish I had the Buick again, paid $50.00 for it.

Thanks Jerry, It sure does look like a 1940 from the pics in the link you sent.

It is either '40 or '41.

I learned to drive on a 1940 Oldsmobile and this car looks like it's from the same era.

It's a 1940 4-door which are harder to find. The front bumper is not correct,looks like a '39 vintage substitute?

Anybody's guess I'd have to say. Looks solid though and a good project for resto-mod.

From the look of the moss growing under the car, it has been abandoned for a long time... pity.

I had a '41 dodge that looked similar. Paid $100 for it. It had one front seat and a trunk large enough to smuggle at least 4 friends into the drive in movie

It is a 1940 Pontiac

My mother had a '39 Dodge Business Coupe with the long trunk and no back seat. There was a door to the trunk and I used to climb through it to play in the trunk! Best thing that ever happened was when my mother reported that a policeman jumped on her running board (yes it really had one) and said, "Follow that car!" I think the old car couldn't go fast enough and he eventually hopped off!

A two door sedan, halfway desirable. Somebody ought to snag it take it home and apply for a lost title and make a hot rod out of it.

I think in a similar manner.
I recently read that if the sun were reduced in size to that of a dot over the I on a printed page then the size of the galaxy that we are in would be comparable to the size of the earth.
For comparison, the sun could contain one million earths in that little dot over the I.
